When I look at the archives it isn’t there:

Maybe it got stuck. Did you send it from the address you’re subscribed to the list to?

*shrug* I sent it. I'm not certain why it didn't go through to the list.

I don't mind this myself as I didn't look at Savannah tracker, but I personally cannot find those words you quoted. They're not in my email archive except in this particular thread.

So perhaps there was indeed no explained announcement of the change?

As most of you may remember, I prefer to stay out of these political discussions. Discussing code is frustrating enough. But this time I have to step up for Yavor. All he wrote was the an announcement about the bug tracker move would have been helpful. And I would go even further on that point. When we agreed on moving GNUstep to GitHub we also decided to leave the bug tracker on Savannah, at least this is my recollection of the result. Please correct me if I am wrong here. If this is true, a bit more of explanation for this step would be appropriate. Just saying that we no longe host our code in Savannah, even when done in capital letters, isn’t an argument. As some may recall, we did move from GNA to GitHub, our code hasn’t been hosted on Savannah for years.

I really would like to hear an explanation not a rant. That may be acceptable behaviour in some countries at the moment, I hope the GNUstep discussion list is not a place like this.

Free Software is a good cause and I have been fighting for it for about 20 years now. I joined GNUstep in 1999 and I have been adamant in my belief and protection of free software, but I have also watched GNUstep languish because of decisions sometimes made for political ends rather than for TECHNICAL ones.

It's just as simple as that. Many of these decisions were made by consensus... moving to github was not my idea alone it was myself and the maintainers. Someone refusing to submit bugs due to the fact that they might need a github account isn't going to change that.

Algoriddim likely would not be contributing unless we were there and also we have had a number of helpful pull requests due to being here. So, please, don't kid yourselves. Being on github has meant more exposure for the project which is a good thing.
